Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn’t going to result in any action, so I’m wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?

    I have to admit that this was the discussion that made me realize we can easily believe a problem exists just because it theoretically might exist. The discussion started without any data backing the claims. People said there was an advantage and that it was unfair, but they were just words that connected to internal belief systems that were either faulty or bigoted.

    It’s similar to the discussion of sportswear. The solution is offering athletes choice and autonomy, but it’s easy to end up in discussions criticizing the clothes without consulting the people that are affected and the reality of their situation.
